I read Marlow's first column last week, and I have to say
that I'm impressed. I've been in the EDI
world for a while, but he brought out a couple items I hadn't (yet) thought to
complain about.
I was sitting at the Lobster Pound in Brewster,
MA (Cape Cod)
dipping small pieces of my 2.5 pound crustacean in melted butter as I thought
about Marlow's point. But I have to
admit that the thought didn't last long, and I turned my concentration back to
the steaming white meat on my plate. There are plenty of "lob and clam" shacks on the Cape, and Lobster Pound is definitely not the classiest, but it's tough to mess up cooking a lobster. Besides the price was right and the ambiance was truly local. But now that I'm done with cracking claws (at least for today)... The ever-increasing pressure to lower expenses by any means possible leads some companies to take shortcut measures that might be considered drastic. At best they can be described as one-sided. At worst, they are simply done out of ignorance. |
